Is it still worth playing?

A 1992 role playing game for the Super Famicom, in which a wanderer named Bartz investigates a fallen meteor. He learns that the four Crystals that control the world's elements are in danger, since they seal an evil sorcerer named Exdeath. The overworld is top down, linking towns and dungeons, and it is crossed on foot, by Chocobo, by hydra guided ship, on a wind drake or by airship. Towns have inns, shops and people with information, and side quests open as the story advances. The job system is the core of it. Characters gain experience from random encounters, and outside battle a menu lets you equip, heal and change each one's job. It was later ported to the PlayStation and the Game Boy Advance. Choosing a job for each party member still shapes every fight today.
